No Federal Stimulus This Summer — But States Like NY Are Stepping In

Rumors about a potential federal stimulus check for taxpayers this summer are currently unfounded. As of now, there has been no official confirmation from the IRS or Congress regarding any new stimulus payments in 2025.

However, some states are taking action. States like New York have announced plans to offer relief checks or rebates to eligible residents. These payments are typically based on factors such as income level and filing status.

If you're a resident of one of these states, it’s worth checking with your local tax authority or government website to see if you qualify.
